"afaik" stands for "as far as i know".

Google provides a form where you can submit a page (but they dont guarantee that page will be indexed and when) - http://www.google.com/addurl/. Dont know if they have API for that.

Thanks for the prompt reply,

Is answer to you mentioned "afaik paypal integration" I quite didn't understand what you meant by "afaik", and any advice on one time cost not based on hourly rates.

For your answer to second question , does google provide any API which can be included on the site and user prompted to copy and paste a link provided and click submit button.

Do you mean to send a link to your page to a Google after you published it in your CMS? No, Google does not provide such a feature. All pages are indexed organically.

For a simple category tree, you could use table like that:

id title parentid position
1 Cars 0 1
2 BMW 1 2
3 Audi 1 3

id - int, auto_increment;title - varchar or text,parentid - int, references a parent categoryposition - just generate a unique number when creating category. Later you change position just by swapping this position number for a category that is to be moved, and next (or previous) to it. And you output your category list with ORDER BY position ASC (or DESC, depends on your implementation).
